Default SWA helping UAL

Air traffic controllers in Oklahoma City received a low altitude alert for Southwest Airlines flight 4069 as it approached Will Rogers World Airport just after midnight local time on 19 June. The aircraft had been cleared for an approach to the airport’s Runway 13 when it descended to approximately 525 feet above the ground about 9 miles from the airport. The incident was first reported by The Oklahoman on 20 June.

"Southwest 4069, low altitude alert. You good out there?"

You are a complete tool. That's all. I have no further comment.

why? It’s a safety related incident on a safety sub forum. Maybe you didn’t like the title?

Maybe he doesn't know the aviation rule of thermodynamics. "When the heats on someone else it isn't on you!"
He should not worry to much. Delta or American will come along soon to take over the hotspot. Delta actually started the trend.

yep, we all have our turn.. what isn’t fun is when people like LAXDEN group a whole airline together to make them sound incompetent. Now THAT guy is a tool.

More likely they lined up on I-40. It almost aligns with rwy 13 at 9 DME.
